Anxiety, OCD, anx attacks history
by rita33, May 22, 2007 12:00AM
For the past month I have been physicaly falling apart. This has started two days after a friend found out she has a dehabilitating illness. The more I read the more I feel it may be anxiety for me, but I'm kind of new to this and wanting to hear more about others experience. I am a very busy person and take no time for myself. No hobbies, very little socializing other than with immediate family, no exercise, and so on. As a child I know I had spurts of OCD to the point I almost washed all the skin off my hands for whatever reason I do not recall. I think OCD is quite common for children so I didn't dwell on that. As an adult, I have these quirky little things that I feel I have to do to somehow avoid harm or bad karma, and I know it's not reasonable. Again, this doesn't bother me too much because it doesn't greatly affect my life. It's just little things. I had what I think was a panic attack about five years ago when I was going through a particularly hard time as a single mother. Now, I think my stress level is a bit high, and I feel that I take on other peoples problems as my own and let things that are going on in the world around me bother me way too much. So I don't know if I'm really all that new to mental health issues afterall, though they haven't affected me so drastically as now. Anyone having this experience where it just makes you feel like you're falling apart all of a sudden?

But the weird thing was, that I've been having hypersensitivity to clothing/touch and etc this whole week, and while crying and getting that anger out,
I felt like it helped the symptoms to get smaller. Kinda weird.
Anyways, yeah. it's normal. Atleast in my point of view. :)
